My thoughts on what form of protest we might consider...

[DC2]

If the FDA demon regulations turn out to be really bad for us, what will we do?

I have no doubt that the entire vaping community will come together as never before.
And we have seen in the past the kind of momentum we can muster under much less threatening circumstances.

But when we do come together, what will we do?

I would love to see vapers turn up at their local appropriate government building...
And lay down on the ground with flowers held on their stomachs in their folded hands...

What an amazing statement that would make.

Beautiful! I would definitely do this. Bumping for a great idea.

Great idea. Along with the right signage to explain our purpose. Something like: I saved my life through vaping.......the FDA and Big Pharm wants to take my life. Please help me protect my life by signing this petition.

Have a HUGE zombie walk where we all have poster board taped to us with tobacco statistics such as how many deaths per year then vaping deaths per year=0

I like the playing dead idea too.

Unfortunately, based on the number of CASAA members compared to the number of active ECF members, I have real concerns how many people could be "mustered" for a demonstration. Sorry in advance for my bluntness, but based on the statistics, there appears to be a large percentage of lazy and self-absorbed vapers.

Well i hope if the heat gets turned up they join CASAA, although i don't see any reason to wait for it to get that bad in the first place..

Unfortunately, by the time the heat is at full throttle, it may be too late.

I honestly do not know why more people don't join CASAA..Its simple..really simple..EVEN FOR ME

I joined quick after the forum opened my eyes to all of the legislation aimed at the vaping community. Im not at all trying to be high and mighty, i just know how much some of our elected officials LOVE snatching rights away from Americans.

I have to agree with what wv2win stated, it's been proven time and again that the majority of people love to complain and moan about issues but won't get off the butts and actually do something about it. As you have stated about the elected official and our disappearing rights, this just proves time and again that people just sit and complain and will say something should be done, but they just sit on there laurels and seem to think that they don't actually need to get off their arses, they just simply believe someone else will take care of it. This type of attitude is in large part why this country has come the state that it currently is and now the government agencies have absolutely no fear and no regards for the people.

Look at the lunacy that is taking place now, the FDA got another 40+ Million to further research tobacco, they have just decided to allow 3 more types of rolling papers to be put up for sale etc, etc. Whatever happened to the stance that built this country "For the People by the People" We allowed these clowns in office to garner way too much power and take away ours and all the while laughing their butts off on their way to the bank.

Well stated!! I would like to see someone start a thread in the General section with the title: Why are Vapers lazy and self-absorbed? and then ask why so few ECF members have joined and support CASAA. But with my "rep" for being too blunt and argumentative it would probably not be well received. We need a nice, loveable member with good diplomatic skills to start a thread asking this question. I nominate DC2.

I've started quite a few threads designed to get people to get involved...
I've tried encouragement, instructional, and fear-based approaches...

But I haven't tried confrontation or guilt yet.

Considering your three other approaches have barely worked, it's time for "confrontation & guilt"!! I will be right there behind you egging you on and adding comments like: "Wow, what has gotten into DC?. Did he get a bad batch of eliquid"? You, know, supportive comments like that.
